Chromeo the new colour smartphone announced by Pebble

Pebble Technologyย had announced on 24th February about its next-generationย smartwatch, featuring a thinner design, a color e-paper-like display, and a revamped OS. ย Now the company may have knowingly leaked image of ย Chromeo smartwatch before the start of MWC 2015, however the leaked smartwatch image points towards a radical change from its existing lineup.

The new watch is going to be thinner than the current generation of Pebble smartwatch. And while the new device will have a color display and a slimmer hardware profile, itโ€™s said to haveย battery life that compares to the first generation Pebble.

You cannot say what is inside until you buy it, butย 9to5Macย claimsย that the design has a new processor and a 6-axis gyroscope for motion detection.

The deviceโ€™s OS has been completely redesignedย by the team behind WebOS, featuring a timeline view that showsย a list of recent notifications, while the user interface will be added with a many new animations and appearance tweaks. There is one more day left for its sell to begin, after which all hidden mystery will be disclosed.

From the looks of it Pebble Chromeo, if that is indeed its name, looks a basic smartwatch with colour added just to keep up with Apple Watch. It looks a tad square than the current range and is wider.

As said above, Pebble Chromeo is stated to last for 7 days just like the first version of Pebble smartwatch. Itย is also supposed to feature a microphone enabling voice control.

The current Pebble smartwatch retails for $99, while the steel model sets you back by $199. Chromeo is hoped to be in that range.
